Status of MicroBeam Linatron (MBL) product line development at Varex Imaging Corporation
Year: 2026
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: The High Energy Systems (HES) group at Varex Imaging Corporation (Varex) introduced a new concept and design for Accelerator Beam Centerline (ABC) (patent pending), which can be used on compact commercial electron linear accelerators in 1-20 MeV energy range, delivering substantially reduced, less than 0.5 mm focal spot on a beam stopping target in order to improve imaging qualities with the produced Bremsstrahlung. The first 6 MeV prototype tests have been completed successfully, and the work continues to build and test a 3 MeV and 9 MeV ABC prototypes. These linac systems received a brand name MicroBeam Linatron (MBL) series. The design and experimental data obtained up to date are presented.
